abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the malnutrition status and influencing factors in children with migrant worker mother in poor areas of 13 provinces.
  
  
  METHODS
  Survey data was from the program of Public Health Emergency Response and Operation Mechanism-Establish the monitoring and information system on nutrition and health and related risk factors in 0-5 children in 2009 which funded by China CDC. Multistage stratified random cluster sampling method used in the national survey was performed. The contents of the investigation included questionnaire survey, anthropometric measurement,biochemical tests and dietary survey. The subjects of the study were 2161 children no more than 18 months in the survey. Z-scores were calculated according to WHO growth standards (2006). Data processing and multiple factors analysis were finished by non condition logistic regression in software SAS 9.12.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were 9.3% children whose mother were migrant workers in the target population. The prevalence of stunting and underweight in children with migrant worker mother was 15.5% and 6.0% Excluding other influencing factors, the results suggested that low birth weight (OR=2.543, 95% CI 1.481-4.365), minority nationality (OR=1.661, 95% CI 1.274-2.165), mother is migrant worker (OR=1.602,95% CI 1.085-2.367), the nearest medical institution at a distance of >or=1 km (OR=1.308, 95% CI 1.008-1.696), and unsanitary toilet (OR=1.311, 95% CI 1.017-1.689) are the most important independent factors among 0-18 months young children.
